Pillar 5: Progress

We will report our compliance to the State of Texas and other authorities, detailing our progress toward a more accessible university environment.

Monitoring

TAMU-CC will acquire scanning and testing tools to determine the accessibility compliance of our information and communication technology (ICT) and determine opportunities for strategic remediation:

  • Websites
  • Social Media
  • Digital Course Materials
  • ICT

Cadence

Data from the enterprise solutions scanning the ICT is collected on the second Tuesday of each month.

Other Tools

While other tools may be used, including manual testing, the results of the enterprise solutions will be included in the compliance reporting.

All ICT accessibility reviews will be recorded in the approved IT repository.

State of Digital Accessibility

The DAO will provide a monthly report to the CIO.

Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) Survey

Per 29.01.04.C0.01, Electronic and Information Resources Accessibility, the IRM, with assistance from the designated EIRAC (currently the DAO), will conduct and complete digital accessibility surveys as required by Texas DIR. The survey is sent out biennially, around December of the previous year and due in March of the biennial year.

Ethics and Compliance Committee

After approval from the CIO and Chief Information Security and Privacy Officer (CISPO), the DAO provides reports to the Chief Compliance Officer

  • quarterly reports of compliance activities (e.g., stakeholder meetings, training conducted, lab inspections, rule reviews, compliance reviews)
  • annual compliance risks and mitigation factors
  • annual assessments of program maturity at the university
